      Book Description

      Regional policy is an essential means by which the European Union pursues its objective of social and economic cohesion. This major new book describes the operation of the various EU structural funds, which seek to promote equality between levels of development and employment across Europe particularly by lending impetus to the most backward areas. A thorough understanding of how regional policy operates has become increasingly important following EU enlargement as funds are allocated to new regions. This work provides a comprehensive overview of the nature and operation of the EU structural funds and related financial instruments for the promotion of regional solidarity in Europe. It derives from a section in the looseleaf Law of the EU (Vaughan and Robertson, eds), and is made available here for the benefit of those who don't subscribe to the looseleaf.

        Book Description

        This book focuses on the structural changes in private enterprises and public institutions that aim at lifting the continental productive system onto a higher growth path. Organized along three research lines, the chapters offer new, provocative treatments of the adjustments in monetary and real sectors accompanying the European economic integration, the consequences of specific legal/institutional changes, and national systems of technological and institutional innovation. Given the fundamental changes of policy regimes involved, only a comparative (to some extent, eclectic) conceptual framework may provide insights about the ultimate economic state eventually reached and the manifold of processes leading towards it. The unifying feature of the book lies in its attempt to highlight the complementary roles of private and public sectors in promoting technology, human capital and institutional engineering as the ingredients in any successful recipe for growth and convergence.

                  Since the early 1980s, the growth performance of the ESCWA region has been disappointing. In endeavouring to reverse the trend it is essential to identify what factors, if any, can contribute to a more positive growth experience. The present study offers a quantitative examination of the sources of economic growth in the ESCWA region. It also outlines recommended economic policies for member countries, linked to forecasts of optimal public expenditures concomitant with optimal rates of GDP growth.

                      East Asian countries - currently the most dynamic region of the global economy - have recently pursued trade liberalization through the adoption of various forms of bilateral and plurilateral Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). The book explores the key issues and possible outcomes arising from this departure from the region's traditional multilateral approach to trade liberalization. Implications of this new approach for the region as a whole, and key participating individual economies and blocs of economies, are emphasized.

                        5 out of 5 stars Perfect book.......2001-12-06

                        This is the best book for learning about CS2K. Author has done a great job.

                        1 out of 5 stars Too introductory. Not worth spending money for it.......2001-11-29

                        This is one of those books that content is way too introductory for any serious IT prfessionals that it is not even useful to be used as a reference for any real-world work we do. It is probably for those who wants to learn very basic of the product. Not worth spending money for.

                        4 out of 5 stars Good For beginner to study.......2001-11-01

                        This book is good for beginner to set up the e-commerce. It's show you all basic you need to know and has good detail of example.

                        4 out of 5 stars Nicely written.......2001-09-21

                        Nicely written; summarises the main features of Commerce Server 2000 and has some nice overviews of product features as well as detailed drill-downs to look at the code. This books is a useful companion to the CS2K SDK and the Wrox CS2K book. A gripe which I have levelled at the Wrox book can also be aimed at this: It focuses very heavily on the example Retail site which has received near universal criticism for some of its architectural features on the CS2K newsgroups.

                        4 out of 5 stars Good for professional and non professional.......2001-08-22

                        I am working with MS commerce server 2000 for almost 1 year and our company was one of first companies which use CS2000. I studied couple books about Commerce server such as commerce server professional and commerce server 2000 resource kit , But I can say this book is so better than those and it help me very much to easily understand those concepts which I had not understod befor .

                        thanks to Author .

                            Conference planners will find this book to be indispensable in the planning process. Although more appropriate for medium- to large-sized conferences, even small conferences can benefit from the wealth of information that covers every aspect of organizing a conference. Chapters on speakers, promotion, administration, exhibitions and even the art of chairing a conference are some of the topics covered.

                            A side note: the book was written in the UK, but measurements are provided both in metric and feet. The principles apply no matter the location.

                                  Book Description

                                  This is a "how to" book. It was written to help you get the job you really want-from gaining an interview appointment to negotiating your compensation. It shows you how to take your unique qualities and talents and present them to make the best possible impression on any potential employer. It also includes "Skill Builders"-practical worksheets to help you gain skill in the techniques being taught.

                                  The techniques and concepts provided are equally effective for first-time job hunters and for those who have been on many interviews.

                                  5 out of 5 stars This time tested book delivers........2007-08-14

                                  Many candidates mistakenly think that if they only get the interview their personality and speaking skills will seal the deal. As a result, they do not practice or put their best foot forward. The book is a great tool for the experienced executive, inside candidate or new graduate - everyone benefits from evaluating their unique fit for a postion using the structure and advice set forth by Drake. There is nothing like taping yourself answering the 10 most common questions to appreciate your opportunity to clarify your value proposition.

                                  I have used this book personally and given it to my friends and colleagues - who have used it. I know of no one who has used this book and not been offered the job.

                                  4 out of 5 stars very good interview prep.......2001-11-01

                                  I would highly recommend this book for job interviewing preparation. Also recommended for job interview preparation are the job interview guides published by Vault.com, including the Vault Guide to the Case Interview and the Vault Guide to Finance Interviews. Good luck!

                                  The perfect interview was exactly the book I needed. It showed me how to present my personality qualitities and job experience in a way that makes a positive impact. During my recent interview (after reading the book) I felt relaxed and confident because knew what I was going to say and how to say it. And, best of all: I got the job!

                                  5 out of 5 stars Great self-learning tool!.......2000-07-17

                                  The Perfect Interview is the interviewing book I recommend to all my outplacement clients.It clearly explains what applicants must do to make the most positive interview impact. In addition, the book provides practical exercices for developing skills to optimally respond to the interviewer's questions.

                                  This book saves me countless hours in coaching my clients. They say that the book is easy-to-read and really helps them understand what it takes to successfully convey their skills and positive personal qualities.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Excellent Interview Preparation Guide.......2000-02-24

                                  This book is only 200 pages and can be read in a day or two. It is well organized. The first section is how to locate that perfect job and land an interview. Drake makes suggestions for networking, employment agencies, and executive search firms, with examples of contact letters and other great materials. He then takes you into the interview prep phase. He starts with helping you look right - professional, prepared, and confident. The next sections take you through the interview process, and he goes through the 10 "standard questions" asked by interviewers. "Tell me about yourself" "What are you strengths/weaknesses" and so forth. I throughly enjoyed how he assists you in forumlating the proper responses so they are professional and you feel confident. He then assists you in follow-ups, and the much desired negotiation phase. Drake helps you to be prepared from start to finish with this book. You MUST go through his skill builders as these are key to being prepared, confident, and winning that perfect job. I strongly recommend this book to all in the job market, whether it be administrative, technical, or other. I won my first interview and got the job I had dreamed of. The others did not answer as confidently as I did, nor did they state thier answers in a professional and knowledgeable manner. I owe my new job to this book. Be prepared, be professional, and be confident. Read this book, do the skill builders on paper and go over them. This is one book that will help you land that perfect career. Good luck!

                                  OK, Now that it is official that they didn't beat the market, they have reversed gears and try to address the savings part. Nothing to differentiate this from a zillion other such books. I should grant them one thing, they know how to market their name to catch on the gullible.
